See NordVPN stopped working for a work-around.
To add a little more detail to this workaround - see steps highlighted on extract from Github link.
Was unable to attach 7.0.2 Zip, from current location. Will try later and will confirm the fix, when implemented/tested:
Ok, I just created a pull request to update the addon so that it works again with NordVPN.
The version will becomme 7.0.2 Note that it will only work on kodi Matrix (19.x) and Nexus (20.x), not on kodi 19 (Leia) or lower.
Thanks to @kpisacic to find out how to fix it.
@Zomboided can you please accept the pull request and make a release of it.
Unfortunately it's not just updating the addon and all works again. There is a little more to it because it broke because NordVPN changed sommething to their api. It looks like it is no longer possible to login with user/password or at least we don't know how to do that with their changes.
Fortunately it is possible to login via a token (which was previously determined via the login with user/password). So instead of providing your login credentials to the addon, now the token must be provided.
To get a token you must login via a browser to your NordVPN account and go to https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…w%3D&reserved=0
Scoll a bit down and there you will see a section Access Token and a button create new access token. Do that and there you will get the possibility to create a token for (I think) one month or a token that will never expire. If you create one for one month then you will have to repeat below procedure again after that time. I created a token that never expires.
Copy that token and keep it somewhere safe such that you can get it back because when this window is closed you will not be able to visualize it again via NordVPN. If you forget that token you will have to revoke the token first and then create a new one.
Now once this is done and you updated the service vpn manager addon go into the settings of the addon and do the following:
- Settings, VPN Configuration
- Note that for VPN Provider NordVPN you will see it no longer asks for a user name and password but for a token.
- If NordVPN was previously already configured, the settings are disabled and you must click on "Click here to update VPN settings"
- Press Yes on message box
- Enter the token you obtained via https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…w%3D&reserved=0
- Go to Settings, VPN Connections and setup at least your first connection and possible others (if you previously had nordvpn configured you have lost this and you must define the connections again. Fortunately its the only thing you loose)
- Press Ok on the settings to save.
Another way, if you know how to do this, is edit settings.xml under userdata/addon_data/service.vpn.manager with a text editor and add thte token like this:
<setting id="vpn_token">the token from the nordvpn website comes here</setting>Save this and restart kodi. The advantage of this way is that you can copy/paste the token and you don't loose your existing configurations.
All should be ok now.
